Oh your mini tarts look delicious and are the perfect size! I wish I had one or two this morning to enjoy. The serenity tea sounded intriguing too. The picnic section of the book called my name but the heat did not. The tarts served on the tennis rackets in the book were so clever :)
ReplyDeletethere is nothing better than a sweet summer plum and I love the proper attention you have given it with your tarts and heavenly sounding serenity tea~ Love the old tennis gear too~

I can just imagine the aroma, Jain. Your tarts are beautifully British, perfect for tea-by-the-sea or anywhere. Plus, they are wonderfully portable, sublime picnic fare. With the punishing temperatures at GG, Serenity Tea would be a most welcome brew. See you tomorrow--can't wait for your tea party!
